According to reports, Prince Harry did not see either his brother or his father while he was in the UK. On the same days Harry was attending court, Prince William travelled to Scotland for official engagements alongside the Princess of Wales. King Charles was also said to be in Scotland at the time.
This stood in contrast to Harry’s previous visit to Britain in September 2025, when he briefly met King Charles at Clarence House. The absence of any family meeting during this latest trip has raised fresh questions about the state of relations between the brothers.
Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe suggested the timing of William’s trip was telling. Speaking to the Mirror, he said court schedules are often flexible, yet William appeared keen to ensure he was nowhere near Windsor or London while Harry was present. Larcombe also noted this was not the first occasion William had been out of the country during one of Harry’s court appearances.
A rift that remains unresolved
